Smaug’s First Appearance Comes In New TV Spot For ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’

While the epic LORD OF THE RINGS films remain an acquired taste amongst the towers of THN, there is no doubt the upcoming HOBBIT trilogy is a welcome return for fans of Middle-earth around the globe. We don’t have much longer to wait before the adventure begins with THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, which has a 13th December release. The film will see Ian Holm’s Bilbo Baggins give his account of the early exploits (played by Martin Freeman as a younger man) when picked for a dangerous mission to help a band of dwarves defeat talking fire-breathing dragon Smaug.

Check out this 9th television spot, which gives us our first quick look at the sinister winged serpent in fiery action.

Peter Jackson’s film co-stars Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellen, James Nesbitt, Richard Armitage, Hugo Weaving, Ken Stott, Graham McTavish, Aiden Turner, Barry Humphries, Andy Serkis and Christopher Lee.
